No Animals Harmed: 7 Most Bizarre Beauty Treatments

Spa treatments featuring live animals may be all-natural, but they're also squirm-inducing

When shopping for beauty products, we tend to look for a few key words on a bottle's label -- namely ones that assure us the product we're about to use has been tested on humans, not animals. But beauty treatments involving live animals? That's a whole different story.

There's a rising trend in the world of spa treatments of cutting out chemical filled products all together and going straight to a member of the animal kingdom for the sake of firmer, younger-looking skin and a truly transforming spa experience. When it comes to searching for the Fountain of Youth in skincare and returning to more natural roots, people are willing to pay to play the role of guinea pig and let animals do what they do best -- slither, poop, and chew away to their heart's desire.

There's no guarantee these eyebrow-raising spa treatments work any more than that new anti-aging cream that hit the shelves or the Thai massage that calls for contortionists, but at least we can appreciate these role reversals for entertainment's sake.
